Gull is New Zealand’s largest independent fuel retailer operating a network of 115 service stations, the majority of which are unmanned sites. It is also the only independent operator with a vertically integrated fuel supply capability, owning a strategic import terminal located at Mount Maunganui. Gull was established in New Zealand in 1998 and sells over 500 megalitres of fuel annually, representing an approximate 8% market share of New Zealand’s liquid fuel volumes.
Gull is independently credited with keeping the fuel market competitive and giving savings to the Kiwi motorist through what the New Zealand Automobile Association (AA) refers to as the ‘Gull Effect’, which is the response to a localised price drop trend across competitors following Gull’s introduction into a new geographic location.
In July 2022, Allegro Funds Pty Ltd announced the completion of its acquisition of Gull New Zealand from Ampol Limited.
